A HARD PROFESSION.

Old DIR. Johnson once said addressing "A
class of medical students, that the study OF
medicine was most arduous undertaking (;
that the most comprehensive mind and the
most industrious student could scarcely do
more than explore the portals to medical
study before commencing practice, but that
throughout his whole life the responsibilities
of his pi ofession should rest upon him like II
nightmare.
He should explore every avenue OF natural
knowledge, must become familiar with chem
but, above all, he must learn the construction
OF his own frame, the means by which he
lives, moves and has his being He must un-
derstand the nature OF all those influences by
which health is broken down and restored
and by what means disease, suffering and
says that nothing contributes so much to the
support OF quackery as the present insufficien-
cy of medical knowledge. Men do not, he
says, easily abandon hope but as readily put
faith in ignorant pretenders as drowning men
catch AT straws.
"The good that men do in this lite lives at
ter them" During the life time OF old DR..
Johnson he invented what is now known as
Johnsons Anodyne Lniment, standard
family remedy OF surpassing merit. This lin.
iment is both for internal and external use
and II is safe to say that no single remedy ever
discovered has done so much good as has this
one. II is Inexpensive, ready at IA moments
notice night or day and may be used with alb.
solute confidence In the thousand and one all.
ments that affiict humanity. In the cure OF
severe cramps or pain in the stomach or
bowels, dysentry, diarrhRa, acute or chronic,
this liniment is a sovereign remedy In the
case of chronic diarrhpa II is certainly worth
its weight in gold IL has been known to cure
cases OF from ten to fifteen years standing at
ter the sufferers had been given up.

AN UNHAPPY ORGANIZATION.

The National Civil Service Reform
league is holding its annual meeting at
Newport. As usual, they are profoundly
unhappy over the situation. The presi-
dent, George William Curtis, in his an
nual address, Wednesday, bemoaned the
fact that since the advent of the Cleve-
land administration there ''has been IA
very significant change in the civil ser
vice. In some of the departments at
Washington this is less apparent than
elsewhere. But in survey of the whole
service there has been almost as complete
a change a. was practicable" He goes
on to give the figures which he has gath
cred. He says: "1he number of EN-
ployees of the government of all kinds
contained in the official register is about
ll5,0O0 or l20.O0 OF these about 1900
are included in the classified service.
which covers about $3.50 places in the
departments in Washington, and S,262
in the postal and customs service else
where, distributed among twenty-eight
post offices and eleven custom houses.
Outside the classified service all the mi
nor places are held at the pleasure of
certain superior officers. TO effect vir-
tual clean sweep, therefore. the change
of a certain number and class of officers
only is necessary. The number of chief
officers, including postmasters. collec-
tors, land officers and many others is
about 900. OF these chief officers ap-
parently about 1000 or Is. 900 have been
changed, and the change in these offices
implies a change also in all places de-
pendent upon them. OF about 2400 pres
idential postmasters, who serve four
been reappointed, and all but 300 or 100
have been changed. All of the So inter
nal revenue collectors have been dis
placed and of the III collectors of Gus
toms 100 have been removed or not re-
appointed. There are now 80. .l57 post
offices in the United States. OF these
about 240O are filled upon the nomination
of the President. and the term of office is
IOur years. lle rest are nlIcu at pleas
ure by the postmaster-general OF the
actual number of changes for all causes
IN the post offices of every kind | have
seen two statements, both of which as
sumo to be authentic. One of them states
the whole number of changes to be about
900, the other about 41 900. Whether,
however, the larger or the smaller num-
ber be more accurate, at the same rate of
change for the next two years the entire
body of postmasters would be. with very
few exceptions. politically changed, and
with the postmasters all the employees
dependent on them
Under the circumstances the closing
sentence of Mr.. Curlis's address is very
funny; ''It would be great wrong to
the cause of which the league is the au-
thorized national representative if it did
not plainly and emphatically declare that
it does not regard the administration. how
ever worthy of respect and confidence
for many reasons, as in any strict sense
of the words "A civil service reform adj
ministration.'

be unfair to cut Off those who had not been in
formed that they were behind, as the date OF

we have decided, in order to do justice to all,
to continue to send ont statements of their

A CLOSE CALL.

In Yesterdays Game With the Steubenvllles-
The Attendance QGts Large Other
Ohio League Games.

Nearly one thousand people saw the
Wheeling boys win their fourth cOnsecu-
tive victory yesterday afternoon at the
Island Park, and, of course, were delighted
when their pets won after a close and ex-
citing game. With the exception of one
bad inning for each side, when everybody
went to pieces, the play was sharp and
neatly done throughout, the work of Moi
fatt and westlake for Wheeling and Mich
olson and Smurthwaite for Steubenville
being especially noticeable.
Ten innings were again necessary to de-
eide matters, and it might have been
eleven, ifSpidel's home run hadn't started
boom which ratified the visitors so badly
that Wheeling got heavy lead on them.
O'Brien's umpiring gave great satisfac-
ton to the crowd, his decisions being al
most invariably impartiality itself
CrOgan opened the ball for Wheeling
with a three-b aser, coming home almost
Immediately on Speck's tumble of Dunn's
hit Dunn went to second and third on a
passed ball and stole home. Mallory also
hit to Speck who made his second tumble.
Speidel struck out. Mallory WAS caught
between first and second and run out.
Westlake was hit by n pitched ball and
! took fiut. Dudley died ut first by
Smuthwaite to Spence ending the inning
with two runs.
For Steubenville Nicholson took his
base on balls, went to second on passed
ball and crossed the plate on single by
Smurthwaite. Spence flied out to Bailey.
Speck made clean hit, but turned to the
/ left after passing first, aud rs q cOnse-
uuence was put out by Speidel. Tanning
was thrown out ut first by Motlatt
The next two innings contained moth
ing of special interest. but in the fourth
Wheeling added two TO her score through
good hitting by Elf, Nichol, Bailey and
| CrOgan.
The fifth brought nothing for either
side, but in the sixth the Wheeling boys
| INDUCED in their periodical rattle and
/ Steubenyille scored three times, tieing the
! game, not u stOfc utlilS eaIuSNs
Up to the tenth inning the game was as
exciting rs the greatest enthusiast could
desire, both clubs trying TO score, but
without result
In the tenth, Speidel started the ball
rolling with a clean home run hit way
down past the carriages, while everybody
fairly hOwled with delight. The excite
meut increased rs Westlake and-Eliff fol-
| lowed with safe hits, and after MOflatt had
been retired at first by Nicholson, the
Steuhenvilles lost their nerve and the runs
began to roll in amid the widest enthu-
siasm. The boys stole bases with impu-
nifty and seemed to have the visitors COM
pletely ut their mercy, and this continued
until they had added five runs to their
score and the battle WAS as good rs won.
/ And so it proved, rs the Steubenvilles
went out in one, two and three order,
Mallory ending the game by n neat doucle
play, which brought down the house.

Last Night

The members of the Commercial Travel

reason to be proud of the success 50 far at
tending their first annual meeting. The
attendance of travelling men is large, the
interest manifested, not only by those be-
longing to the organization, but by the
general public, is deep, and despite
the extremely warm weather, good deal
of enjoyment was squeezed into the twelve
hours ending at midnight last night. The
parade was most creditable; the attendance
at the business meeting was about equal
to the capacity of the room, while the ban
uuet last night was just about equal to the
capacity of the guests.
To-day pleasure and profit will be com
bined in a visit to the Park and tour o.
